Alright, we knew it was coming. We knew Coco Crisp, fresh off a night in which he took out the Ray's second baseman Akinori Iwamura with a slide , was going to get thrown at by the Devil Rays pitching staff. That much is a part of the game, regardless how frustrating at times it can be as a fan to watch this horse manure. What we got, though, was pretty much the worst-case scenario, with the Crispy one charging the mound after Rays pitcher James Shields hit him in the leg with a pitch, prompted a bench-clearing brawl that saw several punches thrown.

Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox recently got into a little scuffle in the dugout as the team was playing the Tampa Bay Rays. You can watch a video of the Youkilis and Ramirez fight at the end of this entry.

Maybe its Manny’s fault, it’s not like he’s the most subtle person in the world. He’s done nothing to quell the grumblings and moans that have been omnipresent throughout his career due to his aloof nature on the field.
